I need more sleep, I need less sleep, I need to be shot in the back of the head

Recall yesterday, when I said in some ways I was happy to be back to work? I deserve to be run over by a cement truck for that. How I dealt with five hours of sleep a night for weeks on end is beyond me; after two nights of that, I'm currently wishing for death. However, I have a total of *ten* hours to myself to use for sleeping time or to do any fun things or non-work things. Ten hours. In the entire day. So do I sleep eight hours and then only get to do fun/relaxing things for two hours? Or sleep two hours and do fun things for eight? What the heck kind of life is this?

The answer: It's not! Ha ha ha!

Gods.

I feel like bitching endlessly about everything. I come in at 7:30 (half-hour early) cow orker comes in at 8:30 (half-hour late) thus I work an hour more than him, but *no one knows this*! Especially the boss who comes in mega-late! I want to cry, I want to scream, I have a headache from hell, I'm exhausted.

The damned MUSH ate up too much of my so-limited time last night. Resenting it more and more and more.

Too bad people are starting to arrive for the day; if I start screaming now, people would notice.

Bah.

Maybe you could mention this to HR, especially if he's salaried and is getting away with less than a full forty hours a week.

Do you really work fourteen hours a day, or do you just have a hellish commute? @,o

Ugh, that totally sucks.

*hugs you* I hope things go better from now on.

Thanks!

I'd rather not go to HR, as if I say "hey! He's doing less than me!" then they might do things like watching to see how much LJ I'm doing during the day -- a fight like that would be a losing battle, even if I won on the hours! :/

No and no. 10 hours of work, 5 of sleep, 5 of other stuff, 2 hours for driving/walking/between work-home stuff, ... hey, I lost 2 hours somewhere... Oh, 1 for getting ready for work in the morning... but that still leaves a missing hour somewhere. Hmmm.

Hey! You know that you're more than welcome to dump on me, right? Gracious knows I could do more to pull my own weight -- I'd be glad to take up whatever I could! Seriously, anything I can do to help.

Or better yet, feel free to take a break whenever you want to. The rest of us can pick up the slack, no problem!

Dude! You're already the hardest working staffer next to me! And alas, mostly this is stuff that only I can do. But thanks though!
